This is dated 2000, although it's really from 1998 or so, which is when Jan Veken did the rest of his classic-series levels. This one is a mixture of E1M2 and in particular E1M7, but brighter and less slimy. It captures the original ambience very well, although it feels a bit anonymous; you only fight against the weaker monsters, and you have plenty of ammo and health, so it's not hard. It also appears as E2M3 in "The Classic Episode", id=11658.

Thanks to        :  Tomi Rajala and Nick Baker for allowing me to
                    reclaim the first segment of this level which was
                    originally going to be a part of Tomi's Back to
                    Hell project.

** This level is actually two segments of unfinished levels by Jan. The
first segment was all areas except the red key and yellow key. The second
segment was the areas behind the red key doors. I (Anthony Soto) joined
these two segments and created a few small adjoining areas (main around the
yellow key). I also did other minor tweaking and partial item placement.
Even though I did some editing on behalf of Jan I feel this is entirely
his genius.

A continuation of a series of levels in the classic Doom style. 
Look for the six other releases (classic1 - classic6). The goal is to
recreate as accurate as possible the atmosphere of the original id levels. 
There will be a few more in the series - check Anthony's webpage to keep
up to date. Enjoy.
